Argo	I need to know how to switch from pivot to center rotation while the Auto Key button is turned on.

TDR	get out of auto key mode, set rotation to center then switch to auto key again.

When I click Auto Key it just switches back.

I'm using 3DS Max 7, if that makes a difference.

TDR	rats, you're right. First I tested it in max 9 and works fine, but in max 7 it's like you said...I have no idea then. Not right now anyway.

Can you change the pivot point of the bone then?

TDR	yes, but do it while in bone edit mode.
